Budget Highlights Scrutinize Sugar Tax and Gold Levy
Highlights of the federal budget submitted yesterday outline a sugar tax cut from 2 to 1 cent per pound, forecasted to raise 6 to 7 million dollars yearly. A new 10 percent tax on Canada’s gold production replaces lost sugar revenue, expected to net about 10 million this year. Income tax rates remain unchanged, new exemptions added for bakers cakes pies certain sugar bush equipment and milk albumen effective April 19. The plan shifts imports tax from 3 percent to 1.4 percent for British Empire origin goods, lowers empire content requirements for many chemical commodities to 25 percent, and Canada seeks Britain's goodwill through tariff changes.
